What is another word for the international date line?
Pronunciation: [ðɪ ˌɪntənˈaʃənə͡l dˈe͡ɪt lˈa͡ɪn] (IPA) 
The International Date Line is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface that marks where one day ends and another begins. It runs roughly from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through the Pacific Ocean. Other synonyms for this concept include the Date Line, the Meridian Line, the 180-degree line, the Anti-Meridian, and the Prime Meridian (though the latter is technically a different line altogether). Crossing the International Date Line can result in gaining or losing a day, depending on the direction of travel. It is used to help regulate global time across different time zones and is a crucial aspect of international travel and commerce.
